Get Rid of Brown Spots and look Younger...
Freckles and Brown Spots
The next type of skin that I want to talk about is sun damaged skin. As you approach your thirties and forties, some woman experience freckles, age spots, brown spots, reddening of the skin. To me, I love freckles. I think they are a sign of youth but brown spots and age spots are no fun at all. I remember there was a client of mine who had a mask of age spots and freckles all over her face. I recommended a product that had a vitamin C derivative from NARS Lightening Cream, and within 6 months, her skin became much clearer. It was amazing and today, she has virtually even looking clear skin.
The trick I told her was to use the lightening cream at night, exfoliate every other day Sicily’s Gentle Facial Buffing Cream and use a SPF 30 during the day. You must use a sun screen during the day because by using a lightening cream at night, your skin becomes even more sensitive to the sun, so a SPF is key during the day.
If you have raised dark spots it’s important to see a dermatologist. They need to be attended to and monitored. But sun damage can be lessened by using products that have a vitamin C derivative. Shiseido has a whole line of products called White Lucent Brightening that are excellent. La Prairie Cellular Anti-Spot Brightening Serum, and Sicily Phyto-Blanc White Tensor as well.
